finally ...

Typing out 164.99.khrrmm.khrrmm for server ip and realizing that it is no more valid ..
Getting up at 10:30 am from the seat for a quick chat with team in a coffee break and realizing no one would come ..
Repeating the above step once again at 4:00 pm ..
Having to use the heavy RDP sessions only to 'interactive session' to a computer :-( ...
Seriously going to a cmd prompt and typing vi ..
Looking at code that starts with
'import System.WebSSO.Properties.Thingummy.WhatzitCalled.YouKnowWhat ...'
as opposed to a friendly
#include
Slowly knowing that around 50 % of work time need to be spent in editing automation jobs :-(
Miserably failing at configuring pidgin to work with Office communicator plugin ...
Getting angry on why I need to have a *in***s only box to connect to office ...
Trying to say "Ab kahaa hein aap ?" to a cab wallah on phone as opposed to a cute - "ellidira neevu ? ..... aaha .. avuda .. allinda swalpa mundey banni .."
Not finding time for guitar and listening to my favourite songs on iPod, imagining myself playing them ..
Carrying lunch box from home, as the food at office is freaking costly ...
Realizing that the floor I'm sitting in (5th) has about as much strength as my previous company ..
Getting surprised when a guy from Utah, USA picks up my helpdesk call at 4 in the afternoon ..
Understanding that Visual_freaking_Studio takes about gazillion minutes to install ..
Not knowing the phone numbers of my own team mates even after about 2 months of joining .. They do not know mine too ...
Figuring out why first line managers are called leads here and still trying to understand why I'm in first role of test after 4 years experience as Dev.
Absorbing the fact that medical checkup post employment can be so weird that the lab guy asks for a sample of stools after asking me to come empty stomach ..

hmm ... transition transition transition ... life changes.

There should be a windows equivalent for the above commands. Google for it! Using cygwin forever wont be nice. ;-)

I would have faced the same kinda issues, if I switched to Linux. Having seen both of them and OSX to some extent, I would rather use Win7 rather than compiling binaries, sudo install etc... May be I am turning to a manager ;)
